Posted: 06 Jun 2010 07:02 PM PDT

A lot of changes happen when you become pregnant. Your body changes. And because of hormonal changes, sometimes you also experience emotional roller coasters. However, much of the changes that occur during pregnancy are physical. One of these, of course, is a bulging tummy, which becomes ever bigger as you approach your due date. During your first trimester, you might not have too much trouble moving about and sleeping because your abdomen will not be very large. But as you reach your third trimester onwards, you might have a difficult time even just lying down.

Avoid sleeping on your back. The added weight from your abdomen will put pressure on a major artery called the inferior vena cava. Sleeping on one's back is usually not a problem when you're not pregnant. However, because of your bulging tummy, you might experience back pains.

Posted: 06 Jun 2010 06:52 PM PDT
